CCTTjKTK —0Severe Restrictions on Proposed New Settlers. Lady, late from England, Tells how She was Enabled to Make the Trip. ■The press generally lias been discussing the stringent nature of the restrictions placed by Australia and Now Zealand on those who propose to leavo tho old land in order tliat these new countries may' get only thoso who aro absolutely physically iit. Now Zealand is said to be even stricter in this regard than ' Canada. The Sydney "Sun's" London correspondent, a short time ago, gavo a graphic pen picturo of those who have their hearts set on the Land of the Southern Cross, but are turned asido. Among the recent arrivals in Sydney from . Home are Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Pickford, who aro living at' "Florcnccville," Catherine Streot, Eozelle. They are amongst the most desirablo class of newcomers. Mrs. l'ickford candidly: admits that not long ago she would havo had no chance whatever of passing tho test for new settlers, owing, to the condition of hor health, and she' gavo an interesting account of the moans, taken to restore her health. . . ■"I becamo anaemic. when I was in my teens," ■ said Mrs. Pickford, "and I continued to have indifferent' . health for years. I begun to lose flesh, and my hands and feet got clammy and .cold. 1 would perspire in bed, and...bo troubled with a. dry hard, cough, which, prevented mo getting refreshing sleep. My cheeks lost their colour that I had been so proud of; my flesh became flabby and my eyes dull aud sunken in my hjad., I became subject to dizziness, and I would havo to take hold of the nearest support to. prevent myself falling. I lost my appetite and the food I took did mo littlo good, for I lost weight so fast that my parents and friends were alarmed, fearing a declino. The least exertion caused my heart to beat violently.' I was treated by several doctors, but I did not get permanent benefit. Happily for mo one of my most intimate friends insisted on ine trying Dr. Williams' rink Pills, as tliey had done her so much good, and sflie had every., coulidcuco in. recommending them to me. My illness had been getting worse for years, and of course got a great hold of me, so weak and low had I become: I was surprised at the rapid change I'had mado for tho better after I had taken Dr. Williams', Pink Pills. Before I had finished the second box my appetite was returning. I could oat and enjoy my, food, and it gavo me new hope, ■ and I continued to persovero with tho pills. > By tlio time I had finished taking seven boxes my health was thoroughly restored. It is now quite two years sinco I left off taking them and my health has been good all the time, and I can honestly sav Dr. Williams' Pink Fills cured me, and 1 have every confidence in recommending them to anyone who may suffer as I did." If you ore weak and run down, it is important that you should get the remedy that cured Mrs. Pickford, so refuse to be put off with any substitute if you aTe offered one. Price 3s. per box; six boxes IGs. Od. of all dealers, or direct from tho Dr. Williams' Medicine Co. of Australasia, Ltd., Wellington.
